Answer:
(c) not on the circle
Explanation:
The distance formula is ...
d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)
For the equation of the circle, we're interested in the square of the distance between the center and the point on the circle.
d² = r² = (x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²
r² = (3 -5)² +(2 -4)² = 4 + 4 = 8
__
We can compare this to the square of the distance to the point (9, -1).
d² = (9 -5)² +(-1 -4)² = 16 +25 = 41
The radius and the distance to (9, -1) are clearly different, so the point does not lie on the circle.
